Biographical summary David ben Yechiel Caro (about 1782 Fordon, grand duchy of Posen - 1839 Posen), Hebrew writer and educator
he was attracted to the Haskalah movement at an early age and in 1800 moved to Posen where he joined the local group of maskilim, the school of the Meassefim. In 1815 he founded the first Jewish school in Poznan, in which German was the language of instruction and where general subjects comprised most of the curriculum. He conducted the school according to the pedagogic innovations of his time, especially those of Pestalozzi, the Swiss educational reformer.
Caro published several writings and books in connection with the dispute over the Reform Temple in Hamburg. Many of his articles, essays, and poems appeared in "Ha-Meassef" and in the "Bikkure ha-'Ittim." Caro was a prolific writer, and left a number of manuscripts on literary, lexicographical, bibliographical, and pedagogical subjects. Among his unpublished works are a Hebrew translation of Zunz's "Gottesdienstliche Vorträge der Juden".
